The lower end of the rods k' are connected with crank portions o' in a way similar to that shown in Figs. 1-4.

The position of the member 7 at the upper dead center is shown in full lines in Fig. 6, while its position at the lower dead center is shown by dotted lines. In the diagram illustrated in Fig. 7 the upper position is shown by the dotted line A B, while the lower position is shown by the broken line C D. An intermediate position is designated by the full line B C, and equal angles formed by the levers 10 and 1l and a horizontal line are designatedby the letter 4:. It will be noticed that in the upper position the pivot 8 lies in the same horizontal plane as the pivot 12, while in the lower position, the pivot 8 lies in the same horizontal plane as the pivot 11.

I claim:

In an internal combustion engine, in combination, a casing, a piston, a cylinder connected with said casing and adapted to surround a. part of said piston, a wrist-pin carrying said piston and extending beyond said cylinder, a pitman situated outside of said cylinder and connected with said wrist-pin, a crank shaft extending parallel to said wrist-pin and connected lwith said pitman, an immovable bearing rigidly connected with-said casing and situated outside of the cylinder walls, an oscillatable member connected with said wrist-pin adjacent to said pitman and situated outside of said cylinder, and an oscillatable lever having one end carried by said bearing, the opposite end of said lever being connected with said member, said member and said lever transmitting forces developed by the crank shaft and the pitman to said casing and thereby relieving the pressure upon said piston.
